    last week i seen a thread with a $100 coupon code going around. I can not find it. Does anyone have a coupon code they would like to share? I am about to make my purchase sometimes today and will be using the epp site. Trying to see if there are coupons out there that can help with this high price. Even if it is not long expired i might be able to use it saying that if you make this coupon good I will buy it right now from that rep. Last config i did was at about $3,500 trying to get it a little lower.

    That coupon expired a week ago so they would probably not take it anymore. I havn't seen any lately though. It's worth a shot. The worst that can happen is they say no.

    I just want to say that I'm pretty sure you can't apply coupons to EPP laptops. Meaning that these coupons are bound to the regular store only.

    when you consider the EPP discount is 10%, would you rather save 100 dollars or 350 (you said your config is 3500)?

    kind of a no-brainer here...

    some coupons are good on top of the epp discount.
    i know for a fact that a user here used a 16% (epp) + 5% discount that day (1/22 i think) when dell had extra 5% coupon.

    I know you can for many, at one point pricing an M11x through EPP I had:

    -10% (EPP)
    -100 ($1000)
    -50 (laptop sale)
    -50 (newletter signup)

    At one point I had it down to like $782 with a base config+ 1 yr advanced warranty... and this was online. If I called in you might have been able to wrangle it even lower. If I didn't have an M15x to finagle back to Dell for credit in my theoretical M17x delivery I would have pulled the trigger... but yes you can often I think stack them with EPP....
